Exploring Option Getters in Effect-TS

Effect-TS provides a robust set of tools for handling Option types, which represent values that may or may not exist. The library offers various getters to handle these optional values effectively. For instance, O.getOrElse allows specifying a default value if the Option is None. O.getOrThrow returns the value inside the Option if it is Some, otherwise it throws a default error. O.getOrNull and O.getOrUndefined return null and undefined respectively if the Option is None. O.getOrThrowWith enables custom error handling when the Option is None. These utilities enhance code readability and maintainability by providing a type-safe way to work with optional values, avoiding null checks and common pitfalls.
